Description
Nov. 1, 1927. 1,647,344 7 D. D. CUSHMAN OIL SEPARATOR 4 Filed April 4'. 1927 Inventor .D. Uw/mm/ with a removable Patented Nov. l, 1927.
taste DAVID nuns onsniviniv," or wionrrn rants, TEXAS.
in 'snrnnn ron.
Application filed a rn e,
sive device, for receiving the oil from the well and so constructed as to cause the positive separation of the water and solid matter that may be found therein.
In the drawings, the figure is a detail longitudinal section through my improved separator.
Now having particular reference to the drawing, the device consists of a tank 5, of predetermined capacity open at its upper end and being equipped at said upper end lid 6. Arranged within this tank is a cylinder 7 open at its oppofit site ends, the lower end thereof resting upon the bottom wall of the tank and being scalloped as at 8, to provide a plurality of passageways between the cylinder and said tank. As clearly disclosed in the drawing, the upper end of this cylinder 7 terminates within the upper end of the tank, while said upper end of the cylinder is provided with a concentric conical trough 9, the upper edge of which extends slightly beyond the upper edge of the cylinder and from which extends a discharge pipe 10 arranged through an opening in the tank. 5, said tank being equipped adjacent its upper end with a discharge pipe 11.
Arranged through an opening in the center of the tank lid 5 is the upper end of a short vertical pipe 12, that has communication at its lower end with a cylinder 13, open at its lower end and provided at said end with a removable lid 14. This cylinder 13 is formed at a point beginning slightly beyond the lower end thereof with outlet openings 15.
Arranged upon the lid 5 is an oil receiving trough 16, having communication with the pipe 12, so that the oil therefrom may flow .into the cylinder 13-.
Obviously, as the oil flows into said cylinder 18, solid particles will sink to the bot tom thereof while the fluid will pass into the cylinder 7 through the openings 15 in the internal cylinder 13. The oil will rise to said first cylinder, closed at its lower end and being formed 19271 "seri l-nogisasae. v
the top of this'cylinder 7 and flow over the edge thereof intothetop 9," from whence it willfiow throughthepipe 10. The water will flow downwardly within the cylinder 7 through the passages in the lower end thereof after which said water will enter the main tank 5, and when reaching the discharge pipe 11 will flow therefrom.
It will thus be seen that I have provided a highly novel, simple and extremely inexpensive oil all of the purposes heretofore designated, an'deven tho-ugh I have shown and described the invention as consisting of certain detail. structural elements, it is nevertheless to be understood that some changes may be made therein without affecting the spirit andscope of the appended claims.
Having thus described my invention, I claim'as new is:
1. In a separator of the character described, a tank, a lid upon the upper end of the tank, anopen ended cylinder arranged concentrically within the tank and having openings at its lower end, an oil separator that is well adapted for What channel at the upper end of the cylinderto v receive the oil flowing overthe edge thereof, a discharge for said oil, asecond cylinder arranged within the upper end of the first cylinder and at a point slightly beneath the upper end of said first cylinder, said second cylinder being closed-at its lower end and being formed withdischarge openings at a point above the closed end thereof, and means extending through the tank lid to allow the material to be separated to be injected into the second cylinder.
2.1n a separatorof the character described, a tank, a lid upon the upper end of the tank, an open ended cylinder arranged openings at its lower end, an oil channel at the upper end of the cylinder to receive the oil flowing over the edge thereof, a discharge for said oil, a second cylinder arranged within the upper end of the first cylinder and at a pointslightly beneath the upper end of said second cylinder being with discharge openings at a point above the closed end thereof, and means extending through the tank lid to allow the material to be separated to be injected into the second cylinder, said means consisting of a pipe extending vertically from thesecond cylinconcentrically within the tank, and having der through an opening in the tank lid, and a material receiving trough arranged upon the upper end of said pipe.
8. In a separator of the character described, a tank, a lid upon the upper end of the tank, an open ended cylinder arranged in the tank and having openings at its lower ends to permit the heavier material sinking therein to pass into the tank, an oil channel at the upper end of the cylinder to receive the lighter material, such as the oil that rises Within the cylinder and that flows over the upper end thereof, and a discharge for said oil, a second cylinder arranged Within the upper end of the first cylinder, and closed at its opposite ends, a removable lid for the lower end of said second cylinder, said cylinder being formed with discharge openings at a point above the lid atthe bottom thereof, and means extending to the tank lid to allow the material to be injected into said second cylinder.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
DAVID DUES CUSHMAN.
